The Toronto Maple Leafs have confirmed they won't have defenseman Brandon Carlo in the lineup any time soon as he recently experienced a setback and will be out for an extended period of time.
The injuries just keep piling up for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have already had to play without key players like Auston Matthews and Anthony Stolarz so far this season.
Defenseman Brandon Carlo, who was acquired at the March Trade Deadline from the divisional foe Boston Bruins and who is in his first full year in a Maple Leafs sweater, has experienced a setback and is expected to miss an extended period of time, which may include having to undergo surgery per the latest information from head coach Craig Berube.

Carlo was taken with the 37th overall pick by the Boston Bruins in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, and had played his entire NHL career in a Bruins sweater until last season's Trade Deadline.
Carlo, who helped the Bruins take down the Maple Leafs in two separate postseason series in 2019 and 2023, was traded to the Toronto in March for Fraser Minten, a first round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft and a fourth round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
Carlo has 114 points (29G, 85A) in 655 career NHl games with the Bruins and Maple Leafs.
